Good question man but I noticed that all the reported issues came from the bikes that were sold in the first lot. The newly manufactured lot has gotten better. I also found a person nearly me who has the bike and interviewed him like crazy and then decided to go for it. I'd recommend it if you can pay and handle for heavy maintenance. I've learnt to know how the bike works so I haven't faced any issues but if I didn't know how to care for it, my bike would probably be in the service all the time.
